Title : AN INFRASTRUCTURE MODEL FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF VISION 2020: THE RIGHT TO SIGHT
Abstract : Blindness is a serious public health problem globally. Eighty percent of this problem is avoidable, i.e., either preventable or treatable; 90% of the problem manifests in the developing countries of the world. Over the past 30 years the magnitude of blindness has steadily increased, with southeast Asia carrying the greatest burden (disproportionate to the size of its population), followed by the western Pacific region, sub-Saharan Africa, Europe, Eastern Mediterranean and Latin American regions. In light of these observations, all the major groups and organisations involved in the prevention of blindness around the world realized that a major shift was warranted in the strategies to control blindness. This led to the development of the Global Initiative for the Elimination of Avoidable Blindness, given the name “VISION 2020: the Right to Sight.

Title : LEAD KINDLY LIGHT, REACHING THE UNREACHED
Abstract : In the present circumstances and environment, it was inspiring to see, how a MBBS doctor has put all his dreams in mainstreaming the tribal citizens of Karnataka for the last 25 years through Vivekananda Girijana Kalyan Kendra (VGKK), at BR Hills. When I visited BR Hills in 1998 and subsequently in 2006, I could see substantial new developments in that area. I could see that “New Tribal Hospital”, roads and education environment and above all the earning capacity of the tribal citizens have been increased with the technology resource centre as a base. Dr. H. Sudarshan, is the inspiring architect of this societal transformation.

Title : MID-LEVEL CADRE PROVIDING EYE CARE IN THE CONTEXT OF VISION 2020
Abstract : The contribution of the mid-level cadre of eye care providers is an essential component of the Vision 2020: The Right to Sight initiative, to eliminate avoidable blindness by 2020. However, for the past 20 years the functions of this cadre have not been definitively outlined, or universally accepted. Consequently, the competencies they require to provide high quality comprehensive eye care have not been established. This has had implications for both training programmes and the subsequent deployment of the graduates of these programmes.
